摘要

The Army on Thursday awarded Oshkosh Defense [OSK] a potential $942 million deal to produce the new 30mm Medium Caliber Weapon System (MCWS) for its Stryker vehicles. Oshkosh Defense beat out two other bidders for the program to provide a 30mm, unmanned turreted auto-cannon integrated on a Stryker DVHA1 Infantry Carrier Vehicles and received an initial $130 million order covering production for 91 vehicles, with a first unit equipped date set for December 2023. “We did have a robust competition. We had several fantastic solutions presented and evaluated over the course of the last year now. What resulted was a best value award selection...that I believe is going to provide great capability to our soldiers,” Col. Bill Venable, program manager for Stryker Brigade Combat Teams, told reporters ahead of the contract announcement.
